After I remember my first attempts at skiing, all I can say is, “There but for the grace of God, go I.”

If you want to learn to snow ski, NEVER try it alone! Spend the money (not cheap) and get your self a fully certified instructor, (PSIA level III AND NOTHING LESS) and take a half day private lesson. (you won’t last a full day)

“There butt for the grace of God, go I.”

There, fixed it (at least in reference to this poor "chap"...)
